I miss my childhood best friend, who was like a sister to me. The memories with Susan span from California to Florida, where we spent great times together. My favorite memory was our cruise to South America. She always knew, she would die young. She had such an intuition and was so fun to be around. I miss her so much, but know we will be together in heaven again.

Susan was such a wonderful person. Her loss will be felt deeply. The last time I talked to her was in November, and now I find out she's dead. I remember she used to tell me about these rogue waves all the time and how they were very dangerous. She told me a story once about how she was almost swept out to sea by a rogue wave. She said, when the wave hit her, she immediately dug herself deep into the sand and that saved her from being taken out to sea. It's a tragedy she fell to the very danger she so adamantly warned others about. Susan had a very strong personality; she was witty, always happy, extremely nice, and would literally give you the shirt off her back. She will be dearly missed, but the memories of our friendship, as well as her beautiful smile, will warm my heart for years to come. I'm glad to have known her. Goodnight my dear friend
